  1. Verbal Abuse...I Gave What I Got...

    Delete_Me_Please replied to abundantjoy07's topic in Emergency

    Sounds like his only issue was wanting an IV to make drug abuse easier... That, and being an *******, but the two are usually mutually exclusive. I have a personal policy that has served me well so...

  2. Common ER Meds

    Delete_Me_Please replied to ER-RN2's topic in Emergency

    Hell, the worst person I've encountered for spelling and pronunciation of drugs was my nursing pharmacology instructor. Meta-pro-awl is not a beta

  3. Verbal Abuse...I Gave What I Got...

    Delete_Me_Please replied to abundantjoy07's topic in Emergency

    I wish... The last time I got punched, i called the cops, filed the reports, and said I'd be willing to testify and swear out whatever, so they arrested him. A few weeks later, I hadn't heard...

  4. Common ER Meds

    Holy Jesus you people need to learn to spell the names of these drugs if you're going to be giving

  5. Verbal Abuse...I Gave What I Got...

    Delete_Me_Please replied to abundantjoy07's topic in Emergency

    All the bills in the world about violence against nurses aren't going to change the fact that, as our departments get more and more overcrowded, and continue that trend as obamacare phases in, people...

  6. CEN requirements?

    Delete_Me_Please replied to itsnowornever's topic in Emergency

    Unlike others here, I would encourage you to take it, provided that failure would not totally discourage you from ever taking it again. There is no substitute for seeing the type of questions and the...

  7. Recieving a patient from ER

    Delete_Me_Please replied to jkr2020788's topic in Emergency

    Amen to that. It sucks hard when the end of a doctors shift coincides with nursing shift change or scheduled med times. In regards to the OP, As an ER nurse, I found it helpful to ask myself what...

  8. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    Delete_Me_Please replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Ive been a paramedic for 16 years and an ER/ICU nurse for four, so I can

  9. On call pay

    Delete_Me_Please replied to ontheDLnurse's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    My understanding is that as long as you are afforded a reasonable amount of time to respond, you are not legally entitled to compensation for on call pay. One of my former employers was sued over...

  10. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    Delete_Me_Please replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Zippy cant help it; he's British. Their concepts of medicine, particularly emergency medicine, are about as wacked as their concept of rights, which is why our system of everyone having the right to...

  11. ER meds

    Delete_Me_Please replied to ketonesRN's topic in Emergency

    That's the difference between what the manufacturer recommends and what pharmacists know to be safe, thanks to clinical research and outcomes assessments. Rocephin, and Ancef for that matter, can be...

  12. Not many Black/African American nurses working in the ICU's

    Delete_Me_Please replied to i-njoy-being-a-nurse's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    From what you're saying, the "are you an rn are you a student etc" questions probably originate in the fact that you make an effort to care about your patients as people, not just as bodies and...

  13. Is Corrections a good job for a new RN Grad???

    Delete_Me_Please replied to nursgwithcompassion's topic in Correctional

    Correctional nursing is an environment similar to the burn unit... You only have to work there for about a week before you know if it is right for you or not. Go for it, just dont put all your chips...

  14. ER meds

    Delete_Me_Please replied to ketonesRN's topic in Emergency

    That's not necessarily true... A gram of rocephin or ancef can be run wide open, as each can safely infuse in under five minutes. There are some, however not

  15. Not many Black/African American nurses working in the ICU's

    Delete_Me_Please replied to i-njoy-being-a-nurse's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I'm white... Where is this "power" that I guess I'm supposed to hold? I worked in a unit where I was the only white nurse and saw maybe three white patients in the six months I was there. People did...

  16. Critical care drips

    Delete_Me_Please replied to kc87t's topic in Emergency

    When i read 'out of the question,' to me, that implies an absolute contraindication, so it may have just been mis.confus.ication on our parts. Hypotensive ans tachycardia shocj patients have received...

  17. Critical care drips

    Delete_Me_Please replied to kc87t's topic in Emergency

    Not sure where you got that information, but you should check again. Hypotension and tachycardia (shock!!!) are two of the symptoms that accompany most acutely ill patients who receive dopamine....

  18. How long until you were pretty good at IV starts?

    Delete_Me_Please replied to sweetER's topic in Emergency

    Once I shunned everything that my nursing instructors, preceptors, and well-wishers told me, it only took me a few weeks, and the QA report at my last annual review showed a 91% success rate with a...

  19. Demerol 75 mg was given IV instead of IM. Fired!!!

    Delete_Me_Please replied to mirtesen's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I'm more inclined to think poorly of you for even considering filing for unemployment as a nurse. You work in about the most employable profession there is, so instead of being a part of...
